As shown below, I am trying to find a cool way to show some variance weighted deviation from the mean. There are 10 attributes that I compute the distance for.

How can I add a color function such that it is progressively a darker shade of red when its value is negative (towards the left) and green when the value is positive (towards the right of the graphics)?

How did you know about ChartElementDataFunction. I couldn't find it in documentation.

@MikeHoneychurch I now added a link to words "built-in tools" in the first line of the post to refer to the corresponding Documentation example.

Interesting that it turned up there but is not documented at ref/ChartElementFunction and doesn't seem to have its own documentation page explaining usage

@MikeHoneychurch If you search Documentation for ChartElementDataFunction - there will be many links. Because functions such as SectorChart3D have a special section in Documentation under Options dedicated to the usage of ChartElementDataFunction. But you're right - currently no separate article.

Just to qualify the comment at the start of this thread. I typed ?ChartElementDataFunction and this failed to return a description.
